Music Organizer, freedb and full MP3 support, Cover & Label printing

Music Wizard Professional  Review

Music Wizard is the perfect solution for managing your music collection, including CD, MP3, DVD, MiniDisc, Vinyl records, Tapes, DAT and DCC. You can locate songs or records with the powerful search function, and create complete lists of your records sorted by artist, titles or time. If you are lending a record, Music Wizard reminds you if this record is not returned within the defined period. Another feature is the full MP3 support: Music Wizard is able to scan your harddisk or CDs for MP3 files. The song/artist info is read from the MP3-internal ID3-Tag or (if the MP3 doesn't contain an ID3-Tag) from the filename/path. Once added to your database, you can copy, move, rename or delete MP3 files with powerful functions. Music Wizard Professional can also add, update or delete ID3 Tags (ID3v1 and ID3v2). Another useful feature is the CD Cover and Label printing. The integrated CD Player shows you the CD and Song information plus the (remaining) time. Additionally can create up to eight individual playlists that are saved to the database. Music Wizard has two record types: album (single artist) and compilation (multiple artists). Music Wizard supports freedb, this means you can retrieve nearly all CDs from the freedb server and don't have to enter it manually. To save online time, you can create a "batch query list", a batch file that is generated by the internal CD recognition function. If you do not find a CD on the freedb server, you can enter it manually and submit it to freedb. Another useful option is the Offline CD Archives that you can find on the Music Wizard Homepage. This archives already contains more than 440,000 CD titles. If you e.g. have a huge vinyl record collection, you can search this offline archives for the records and add them to your database. With the database statistics function, you can e.g. find out what artist has the most songs, the longest playing time and many other interesting functions.
